Solution

The correct option is A $\frac{4 πρGr}{3}$
$E (r) = \frac{G M}{R^{3}} r f o r r \leq R = \frac{G}{R^{3}} (\frac{4}{3} π R^{3} . ρ r) = \frac{4 G r π ρ}{3}$

The correct option is A 4πρGr3E(r)=GMR3r for r≤R=GR3(43πR3.ρr)=4Grπρ3

The correct option is A $\frac{4 πρGr}{3}$
$E (r) = \frac{G M}{R^{3}} r f o r r \leq R = \frac{G}{R^{3}} (\frac{4}{3} π R^{3} . ρ r) = \frac{4 G r π ρ}{3}$
